 * Hello!
 * I am trying to stop repeating posts from a single category on a page. I am using
   following code but I can see first function post and second function not showing
   anything any idea?
 * <?php $showpost = new WP_query(); $showpost->query(‘showposts=1&cat=6’); ?>
    
   <?php if ($showpost->have_posts()) : ?> <?php while ($showpost->have_posts()):
   $showpost->the_post(); $myPosts .= $post->ID . “,”; ?> <div class=”focus”> <h3
   >” title=”<?php the_title(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></h3> <div style=”padding:
   0 0 14px 0;”></div> <p>” title=”<?php the_title(); ?>”><?php print do_excerpt(
   get_the_excerpt(), $carpet[‘snippet_level2’]); ?></p> <ul class=”etc”> <li class
   =”readit”>“>Continue <li class=”commentit”>” title=”Comments on <?php the_title();?
   >”><?php comments_number(‘0 Comments’, ‘1 comment’, ‘% comments’); ?> <div class
   =”clear”></div> </div> <?php endwhile; ?> <?php endif; ?>
 * <!– Second Function –>
 * <?php $myPosts .= “0”; add_filter(‘posts_where’, ‘post_strip’); ?>
    <?php $showpost
   = new WP_query(); $showpost->query(‘showposts=12&cat=6’); ?> <?php if ($showpost-
   >have_posts()) : ?> <?php while ($showpost->have_posts()) : $showpost->the_post();
   $myPosts .= $post->ID . “,”; ?> <div class=”box_type_a recently”> <h3>” title
   =”<?php the_title(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></h3> <p>” title=”<?php the_title();?
   >”><?php print do_excerpt(get_the_excerpt(), $carpet[‘snippet_level2’]); ?></
   p> <ul class=”etc”> <li class=”readit”>“>Continue <li class=”commentit”>” title
   =”Comments on <?php the_title(); ?>”><?php comments_number(‘0 Comments’, ‘1 comment’,‘%
   comments’); ?> <div class=”clear”></div> </div> <?php endwhile; ?> <?php endif;?
   > <?php remove_filter(‘posts_where’, ‘post_strip’); ?>
